There is a lot of talk of trading up for CJ

04-11-2007, 10:32 AM

What about trading down from #8? I know we all really like Landry, but if he's gone at #8 and someone like Green Bay wants to move up for Adrian Peterson, I think we could get another second round pick maybe even 2 picks and we could be even better off. However, if we do trade down in the first, I think we'd be staring a WR straight in the face...unless Houston or Revis are on the board, then again, Nelson would be great value there as well. The problem I see then is, we'd have 11-12 picks, and that's just a WHOLE lot of rookies to have on this team. I know they all wouldn't make it, so, why would we even waste the picks and not trade up for more first day/early 2nd day picks.

But the Trade down to #16 and #47 for #8 would leave us on at 1430 points (for Atlanta) and 1400 points (for Green Bay) so it is pretty balanced. We could toss in a 6th round pick to make it a little more even if needed.

I would really hate to see us waste a 1st day pick on talent like Sidney Rice, but I'm optimistic with this year's draft. We have so many possible directions to go, I don't think we can miss this year. *knock on wood*
